What I do mind is that they don't offer blue seats to match the blue stripe on the M-Sport variant. With Black seats, the blue stripe is like "ok, why do I need a blue stripe across the dash?" Without red seats, the red stripe is much the same IMO.

I have the black leatherette seats, but they have red stitching along with the wheel. The coral red accent ties it all together quite nicely. Sort of like The Dude's rug in The Big Labowski.

Granted.

-no next song dedicated button on the wheel
-extended black speed-o-meter is not standard
-doors doesnt auto unlock when switch to park
-doors require more strength to close, makes people slam on it
-organizing songs in the USB stick is pretty annoying
-screen doesn't display asian language characters

Oh Man, Where do I Start? This is a relative comparison to my E9x and E8x cars....and, hell, compared to my utilitarian low-end A3.

1. Halogen Rear Turn Signals on a 50+K car? Even E46's have rear LED Sigs.
2. Flimsy/Tinny Rear Trunk Door that kills by opening too fast like a used 99' Altima.
3. Wind Noise that is unacceptable at any speed.
4. Artificial boosted steering...even in Sport doesn't want to go off-center / feels numb.
5. Soft un-inspired suspension that floats over bumps rather than feeling taut.
6. Loud thunk on slow reversing.
7. High-pitched whirring on reverse that was not there during my ED drive in Europe.
8. Seats not as cushioned or as comfortable as previous sport seats.
9. Exhaust noise has been dumbed down from previous N55s. Less "sporty"
10. Hard to get Steering Wheel position right to see odometer and bottom screen info.
11. Rusted Seats my friends, Rusted Seats....

But the HUD is rad....meh.

The excessive road noise.
Constant black soot coming from the tail pipes.
No oil dipstick.
No transmission dipstick.
Run flat tires.
No spare
15000 mile oil changes

So the N20 is prone to soot too. I agree with all your gripes but 15k service is the "norm" for BMW these days.

Good. It seems ridiculous that you'd have to go into the glove box to pop the trunk. From your description it sounds like it's similar to the release in my old E60.

I just discovered an alternate button for the trunk release on the drivers side above the hood release below the light switch. It's really small and out of the way.

Some of you have soooo many complaints about the f30. My previous car was much better, blah, blah blah. WHY did you guys buy the car then?

I can certainly say that I have no complaints seeing as how I came from having a 2007 Toyota bB in Japan. It sucked ass. I am happy! But........the topic is what people don't like about the F30. That leaves room for boo hooing on any forum.
